Crop classification plays a pivotal role in agricultural remote sensing, offering critical insights into planting areas, growth monitoring, and yield evaluation. Leveraging the power of Google Earth Engine, this paper centers on the agricultural landscape of Krishna District as its study region. It explores the efficacy of multiple machine learning approaches, specifically Random Forest (RF), Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Naive Bayes, and Support Vector Machine (SVM), in composition of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery for crop categorization. By meticulously assessing and contrasting the evaluations of these four classification methods, the results highlight the efficacy of RF. The overall accuracy (OA) regarding RF classification reaches 0.86, surpassing the results obtained by Naive Bayes (OA = 0.68), CART (OA = 0.63), and SVM (OA = 0.78). This scalable and straightforward classification methodology harnesses the advantages of cloud-based platforms for data handling and analysis. The timely and precise identification in crop typing holds immense importance for monitoring alterations in harvest patterns, estimating yields, and issuing crop safety alerts in the Krishna District and beyond. This paper contributes to the agricultural geospatial sensing domain by providing an innovative approach for accurate crop classification, with broad applications in precision farming and crop management. |
